If the Jimny cam and the baleno cam are the same diameter on the cam pick up end you could swap the 2 lobe ring for the 11 lobe. The cam would then rev as normal. You would have to make sure you got in exactly the same place by marking the 2 cams up first. A little bearing puller should pull it off ok.

But why not just change the pick up cam. It is very easy to do, and there are already marks on the pick up and the cam shaft it self. I did it when I changed camshafts and head.
